Join us to celebrate Halloween with a series of lightning talks on spooky and magical web development topics! We will be joined by a very special Guest, Megan Smith, who served as CTO of the USA during the Obama Administration. She will be giving a talk about an organization called Vital Voices (https://www.vitalvoices.org).

We will be wearing our favorite halloween-themed clothing and costumes and encourage everyone to dress up! There will be time to network and meet other attendees after the talks.
